7-Zip 26.01 changelog:
- linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can increase compression speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
- new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked.
- -spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory. The asterisk (*) character in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name.
- -spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name to form the final path to the output directory.
- -spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path} with the archive name. This is the default option.
- some bugs were fixed.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
